Tacky foods 😀😀😀😀😀

Some food material that have been dehydrated exhibits thermoplasticity (the property of softening upon heating). A cellular food (plant and animal tissue) has structure and some rigidity, fruit or vegetables juices do not and are high in sugars and such that soften and melt at drying temperature. For example, if sugar syrup is dried in a pan, when the water is removed, the solids will be in a thermoplastic tacky condition that stick to the pan and are difficult to remove and with cooling, harden into a crystalline glass form........................................

Physical classification of water

Arboreal Habitat

Trunk of a Palm tree A variety of plants and animals live on and sometimes in a palm tree. The plants are epiphytes most of which live in humus and dusts which collects in the leaf bases of a palm tree. The animals are there because of these epiphytes or of the palm tree itself. A palm tree maybe divided into three regions, the crown, trunk and aerial parts of the roots. The common epiphytes found on palm trees are orchids (Diaphanthe, Bulbophyllum) figs, ferns, mosses. The animals found here are small animals like insects and spiders. You can get a soft copy of this book by sending me mail. ukponifueko@gmail.com.
